Infinity Wars - Animated Trading Card Game News

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Pre-Alpha version 0.36. A lot of stuff that happened recently has been boring technical behind the scenes stuff and bug fixes, but we've also had a pretty large sweeping balance change list coming out for the first time, based on community feedback and playtesting. We've also got a new video at the bottom of this article that is TOTALLY worth the watch, so check it out!

[h3]Reminder: FREE DEMO[/h3]
All players now have the ability to download Infinity Wars Classic through Steam directly. Just make sure your game is up to date and you'll be good to go! This is a great way to get hands-on with what we've created so far as a bit of a sample of what's to come.



[h2]Major Features[/h2]

Major Stability Improvements
We have been seeing some major stability issues with games freezing up. This has been in part due to our recent large overhauls of the Resolution, Deck, and internal systems.
We have found the cause of many of these issues and fixed them. As well as updated our internal Unity version to make use of some of its powerful testing tools, optimisation, and resource alocation to improve stability.

Exile Mechanic
I think it's very fair to say that of all the factions, Exiles nearly always received the short end of the stick. However one of their unique traits has been its titular mechanic and discard themes.
We have finally implimented this mechanic, allowing you to open up the graveyard scroll view and drag cards directly from their into play.

Exile Rework Sneak Peek
Exiles themselves are also in the process of getting a variety of redesigns, buffs, and tweaks to over half of their cards to help reduce the pure amount of randomness in the faction, make them not have more cross-synergy with other factions, and improve their cost curves so they have a better variety of early, mid, and lategame options.
These changes are currently still in progress and are scheduled to be complete next patch, in the meantime enjoy getting an early look at some of the changes and give us your feedback.

[h2]Minor Features[/h2]

Dynamic Banlist
We have added a network enabled banlist that will allow us to disable certain cards from multiplayer matches without requiring a new patch. This means that if game-breaking bugs are found we can make sure it doesn't ruin people's experience.

[h3]New Spotlight Card[/h3]
Ao Shun, Incognito
Cost:1 Morale:8 (DoDx1)
Unique Character - Dragon
At the end of each turn, if Ao Shun is deployed and an opponent lost 8 or more morale this turn, draw a card.

We also got to implement our first ever community contest winner for the Design A Card competition over on Discord. Congrats again to Xeyron, we hope it's everything you hoped for!

[h3]Reminder: FREE DEMO[/h3]
All players now have the ability to download Infinity Wars Classic through Steam directly. Just make sure your game is up to date and you'll be good to go! This is a great way to get hands-on with what we've created so far as a bit of a sample of what's to come.



[h2]Major Features[/h2]

[h3]Now 600+ Cards available[/h3]
An exciting milestone for us here at the team, we hope to start running additional tournaments, events, and prizes as more and more of the old cards become available.
So get out there and start brewing some new decks.

[h3]Deck zone and Card Improvements[/h3]
Each player's deck is now visible on the play area and can be searched through for cards that look through the deck.
You may also look at what cards remain in your deck at any time, not that this view does not allow you to see the order of your library, instead ordering by cost and type.

[h2]Minor Features[/h2]

[h3]New Spotlight Card[/h3]

Duct Tape Enthusiast Cost:3 Morale:2 (GENx1)
Character - Human
When Duct Tape Enthusiast is deployed, target Artificial Character is healed fully.
4/8
Special thanks to Xeyron for the design during our Genesis design competition

[h2]New Cards[/h2]

[h3]New Restricted Cards[/h3]

• Confront The Aether
  
• Lucca, Returning Passion
  
• Secrets of Veroria
  
• Seedbearer Angel
  

These are Intrigue set cards, and are restricted to Devs and special events for testing and balance evaluation.


[h3]IW1 Cards Implemented[/h3]

• Agent Coyle, Divinedemonic
  
• Bromich's Banner
  
• Brute Spawn
  
• Burden Of Command
  
• Called Shot
  
• Chain Lightning
  
• Cloaked Operative

[h2]Balance Changes[/h2]

Herald of Dawn - now targets a single character card in your hand, rather than applying to the next Character card you cast next turn. At this time it isn't feasible to add a buffer system that modifies the next card cast on a time delay for 1-2 cards. This change keeps the majority of the functionality of the card. Decimator - now gains extra attacks from any damage dealt, not just combat damage. This will allow for some additional strategy and deckbuilding opputunities with the card to be used either with or against damage based ability cards.

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Pre-Alpha version 0.34. The patch landed last week, however the patch notes never got posted up due to a team member being sick. We absolutely do not blame anyone specifically for the delays, especially not Jason. Yeah. Anyway, here's what's new in Patch 0.34

[h3]Reminder: FREE DEMO[/h3]
All players now have the ability to download Infinity Wars Classic through Steam directly. Just make sure your game is up to date and you'll be good to go! This is a great way to get hands-on with what we've created so far as a bit of a sample of what's to come.



[h2]Major Features[/h2]

[h3]Graveyard targeting[/h3]
Cards in the graveyards can now be targeted when appropriate, cards that only target graveyards will automatically open the graveyard layout. The UI now allows for zooming and easier navigation control within this graveyard layout.
This has allowed us to implement a number of graveyard themed cards from IW1.

[h3]New Premium Battlefields[/h3]
Added Access to 9 new premium stages from Infinity Wars, these can be accessed via the profiles tab.
These Battlefield are:

• Altar of Madness
  
• Cathedral of Flames
  
• Cathedral of Solace
  
• Eden Manufacturing
  
• Nature's Sanctuary
  
• Palace of the Dynasties
  
• Western Front
  
• Corrupted Lab
  
• Hydra Den
  

[h2]Minor Feature:[/h2]

[h3]UI Corner Borders[/h3]
Added new UI background elements to blend the backgrounds of IW1 into our currrent UI and prevent visual errors from some widescreen users


[h2]New Cards[/h2]

Apothena, The Collector Cost:7 Morale:12 (SoA x2)

Unique Character - Undead
Infect
At the end of turn, if Apothena is deployed, all enemy Characters on the battlefield become Poisoned, taking 2 damage at the end of turn. (This poison stacks and is infectious.)
16/24

[h3]New Restricted Cards[/h3]

• Conflagation Engine
  
• Drill Sergeant
  
• Duct Tape Enthusiast
  
• Gao Han, With Purpose
  
• Shamba's Unity
  
• Skittering Tide
  
• Finds the Hidden
  
• Battlefield Shade
  

[h3]IW1 Cards Implemented[/h3]

• Agent Coyle, Zomborg
  
• Awaken
  
• Black Bind Witch
  
• Champion's Attendant
  
• Extended Operation
  
• Genetic Splicing
  
• Kills By Leaping
  
• Pilgrimage Monk
  
• Precautionary Measures

• Reborn
  
• Siphon Structure

• Agent Coyle, Primal Hunter
  
• Recycle
  

[h3]Cards Temporarily removed for technical reasons[/h3]
Shrine to the Heavens
Inevitable Dead

[h2]Balance Changes[/h2]
Grandmaster Rome | +1 Resource Cost, Angel stats changed to 6/2 and 2/6 (from 8/2 and 2/8)
Rome was overtuned for a number of reasons, adding too much stats to the board at his cost. Kali, Reluctant Leader | activated ability now exhausts for 2 turns.
We are looking forward to seeing Aspirant based decks be an alternative gameplan for Flame Dawn, but the activated ability had low cost of opputunity from either combat or the command zone, and thus has been adjusted to require more thoughtful timing. United Front | now activates each Sage automatically when played and spawns the sages in the support zone.
United Front was released without sufficient internal testing and was far far too weak, it has been given a significant boost in initial impact and no longer can cause you to lose huge amounts of morale due to the sages going directly into the defense zone. Tygris, Politically Inclined | Artificial Token Buff changed to a +1/+1 buff to all tokens you control.
Tygris's previous design was too narrow, and artificial decks have had sufficient support. This new design will allow for different styles of decks to emerge while still working well with GI's internal synergies. Black Bind Witch | Overcharge is now optional and any card that kills her is sacrificed to prevent infinite loops
While Black Bind Witch is already a powerful CoV option, we ran into several technical implimentation issues that indirectly causes the following buffs:
because Overcharge now happens on resolution, it can't predict if there will be cards in hand to overcharge. This means Black Bind Witch can be played as a vanilla 3/3 with no abilities.
The 2nd change is because her trigger is something that then can reapply the same effect as what causes the trigger, meaning that if two black bind witches hit and kill each other it would cause an infinite loop with our current systems. sacrifice is more powerful (lack of morale loss aside.) but prevents these loops. Genetic Splicing | now adds all of the following types:
Human, Beast, Demon, Artifical, Angel and Insectoid
This card was very weak but comes with the dream of using tribal effects outside their usual context, so we did not have UI available to choose a single type to add, so it instead adds all the options, as well as Artificial to help support that tribal theme. Champion's Attendant | now buffs a target champion
Due to us removing the mechanical downside of Champion, Attendant can now choose between any champions rather than it autoselecting for you.


[h2]Bugfixes[/h2]

Lots of major bugfixes for the resolution phase after our large changes last patch.

• Fixed End turn ordering and behaviour to have more consistent behaviour between modifiers and triggers.
  
• Fixed lots of VFX and dissolve errors that caused cards to either get stuck in the middle of the screen or not appear in the resolution phase.

Welcome to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Pre-Alpha version 0.33. Our biggest focuses for this patch have been the new Demo mode that just went live earlier today, as well as the reworked resolution phase, which has been several months in development.




[h2]Major Features[/h2]

Demo Mode
We have added a Demo Mode for players to get a preview of Infinity Wars classic for those that are not subscribed to our Patreon campaign, this gives only single-player preset decks that you can try out a small fragment of the game against AI opponents. We'll be looking at a full free to play launch once the game is further along in it's development, but for now this should make a nice hit of nostalgia to old players, or a good way to try it before you buy it as someone considering becoming a Patron subscriber. Regardless, it's now sitting on the main branch of Infinity Wars 1, so you should be able to get in super easy. Enjoy!

Trading Post and Mulligan Changes
The Trading Post has undergone a massive rework, restored to it's former IW1 functionality, cards are now drawn instantly for the trading post and Mulligans now work the same as in IW1 and you can mulligan any number of times on the first turn. Do note that Trading Post actions cannot be undone.
Trading post actions now happen before any other triggers or effects in resolution.

Resolution Rework
The resolution phase has undergone a large rewrite of it's codebase, allowing us to support more gamemodes and projects in the Infinity Engine, as well as bring the order of resolution in IWC into line with IW1, without disrupting IH.
Triggers can now also interrupt the resolution phase at any time, allowing us to add more VFX and feedback to different triggers such as "On Enters Combat" or "On Attack" triggers.

Trigger Rework
In conjunction with the resolution rework, we also have done a large rework of the trigger system, allowing us to grant temporary or permanent triggers via our modifier system, this allows us to make many new types of cards and many old cards that were previously difficult to implement.

Click To Continue Resolution Option
To help assist players in complex board states or those newer to the game, we have added multiple "Click to Continue" resolution options that will pause the resolution phase during triggers and effects until you wish to continue. This can be enabled for just your opponent's cards, all cards, or disabled. See the Options Menu dropdown.

[h2]Minor Features:[/h2]

• Turn Timer Syncing - Multiplayer turn timers will now synchronize much more accurately as well as work with both the "click to continue" resolution and fast forward options.
  

[h2]Balance Changes:[/h2]

• Xac's Demon Form changed from 15/15 Consume 2 and "If Xac kills a character as a Lord of the Pit, that Character's controller must sacrifice a Character next turn. This effect can only happen once per turn." to 16/16 Consume 6 and Plunder 1.
  

[h2]New IWC Cards:[/h2]

[h3]Cathleen [/h3]

Welcome everyone to the newest patch for Infinity Wars Classic, Pre-Alpha version 0.32. With a focus on UI and making good on some incomplete areas, let's jump into the patch!




[h2]Major Features[/h2]

New IH Hero: Basker, The Junkyard Dog
A Dog is a hero's best friend! Support your team lineup with Basker's flexible array of support cards.
You can even recycle your ultimate units to be played again for devestating effect.

100 lvl Prestige Pass
The Prestige rewards pass has been expanded to it's full 100 levels, any players who previously passed level 30 will have any rewards granted to them automatically. This pass includes a large number of new cosmetics and other exciting reasons to level up.

Card Display and Artist Names
We have reworked the Infinity Wars Classic card frames to be much closer to the originals including adding important information such as artist credits and rarity. Card set release symbols and numbers are not yet implemented.



[h2]Minor Features:[/h2]

• Overcharge cards have begun to be added using our wish system. While we continue working on the multi-targetting system, this beloved mechanic will work by allowing you to remove the left-most card from your hand. Be sure to shuffle your hand cards to not discard something by mistake.
